You know how you can read the first few pages of a book and know that and author has an incredible gift for narration? I was hooked by Bea's ability to transport my mind right into each scene. Vivid, crisp description paired with dialogue that drove the plot forward. I enjoyed seeing how each character discovered a sense of purpose given by God. A beautiful story by an author who clearly understands what it's like to live in England.

The author of this book is a special friend of mine. We met in England. I bought the book the day it came out. Once I starting reading it, I didn't want to put it down. The characters and book are very descriptive. I love being able to relate to places in the book since I lived in England for three years. I recommend this book to anyone. Can't wait to read more books by my dear friend Bea!

James leaves the orphanage in which he was reared to find his birth family and is soon taken in by the kind master of Bethel Manor. Clare loves the beautiful estate she has always called home, but the walls that shelter so many in need become a prison after her mother dies and her father turns overly protective. Wills clash as one is ready to toss aside what the other has longed to enjoy, especially when the search for his family places James in danger.

Bethel Manor is a sweet historical romance with a message of faith. Nice tension in scenes related to James' search for his family.

Good Historical. James Blackwell became of age and set out on an arduous journey across England to find answers to why he was abandoned at a young age and raised in an orphanage. He soon met Fredrick Shaw, a kind, rich landowner who took James into his home. There he met Fredrick's spirited and slightly spoiled daughter Clare. Her disdain for him was evident from the start, but James was strong-minded and continued his quest to find his birth parents and continued his pursuit of Clare. This novel is a great example of the meaning of faith, family, and unconditional love.L. Robinson

What a delight it was to read this love story while on our recent family vacation. I had a hard time putting the book down! So refreshing to read a wholesome story, seeing how God's love for us comes to life. It doesn't matter where we come from, God has a plan for each of us! With the beautiful England setting and era, I think it would be a great movie. Bea is truly a gifted author!
